Chapter 42 The Foundation of Foothold

This is an unprecedented meeting, and all the representatives present are full of enthusiasm.

Even Zhou Bo, who had complaints about the Zhang family, became active. No one has trouble with interests.

The large families and commercial firms represented by Zhou Bo were originally very prosperous, but because of the publicity of the water forging technique, their interests were damaged, and the loss was huge.

Today, they were originally planning to ask questions.

However, when he heard that Zhang Shengde wanted to establish a black iron alliance, he was immediately moved.

We are all smart people, some things just need a little bit of advice is enough.

The meeting lasted until midnight, and everyone finally formulated a basic program.

The name of the alliance is determined to be "Xuantie Public Federation and Technology Exchange Association", or "Xuantie Guild" for short.

Association Chairman: Zhang Shengde.

Vice-chairman of the guild: Zhou Bo of the Zhou family—a representative of an established family and business firm.

Director of the Guild Organization Department: "Gongsun Longyun" of Longyun Trading Co., Ltd. - Responsible for the coordination of internal members of the guild and the review of new members.

Director of the guild's administrative department: "Liang Siguang" of the Liang family - responsible for resolving all kinds of troubles between the guild, the country, and the county. It can be regarded as the government's public relations department.

Director of the Marketing Department of the Guild: "Bai Yunxian" of the White Horse Firm is in charge of market issues, including black iron prices, black iron transactions, and even black iron coins.

On important matters, the five top leaders vote; if three people object, the resolution will be invalidated.

But at critical moments, Zhang Shengde has the 'one-vote veto power'; one-vote veto power can only be used once a year.

The five high-level executives have been confirmed, and the following 'chief deacons' and 'deacons', that is, the 'managers' responsible for various specific affairs, have been preliminarily determined soon.

Finally, according to the different positions held, everyone injected different funds into the guild—membership fees.

The Zhang family invested 3,000 high-grade spirit stones, the Zhou family invested 2,000; Gongsun Yunlong, Liang Siguang, and Bai Yunxian each injected 1,000, and the rest of the members ranged from 100 to 1,000.

These are counted as the guild's public funds, a total of 10,000 high-level spirit stones, which is 100 million low-level spirit stones.

Seeing that the guild was formally established, Zhang Hao next to him smiled, because he facilitated this.

The most important thing is that the establishment of the guild represents the rise of the Zhang family, and it also represents that Zhang Hao has finally taken root in this world and has a foothold.

Speaking of which, Zhang Hao also provided a lot of "nouns" for the guild. Such as: chairman, minister, administration, market; but the word "manager" has not been adopted; everyone is more accustomed to the word "deacon".

Deacon, the person in charge of direct affairs, what an intuitive term.

But no matter what, an unprecedented alliance appeared on the land of Qixia Kingdom, in this prosperous age of practice.

In order to meet the needs of future expansion, the name "Nation of Qixia" was not added to the front of the guild.

As for the residence of the guild, it is planned to buy land in the county town and build another. The temporary office is temporarily located in Zhangfu.

In the middle of the night, when the meeting was about to end, Zhou Bo suddenly said, "Zhang Daoyou, I have some news, I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that some small families are dissatisfied with Zhang's actions. Ambush in the mountain town.

I heard that there seem to be experts from abroad. "

The pleasant atmosphere suddenly became tense.

But Zhang Shengde understood Zhou Bo's meaning: "Then, this is the first time I have applied for the establishment of the guild."

"agree."

"agree."

Everyone agreed.

Although this is to help the Zhang family solve their troubles, it is not an opportunity to make an appearance.

A newly established guild, an unprecedented guild, needs an unprecedented appearance. This opportunity is great!

In this practice world, the best appearance is force!

In other words, fighting, even fighting!

…………

On a low hill, Gu Xuanjun squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The previous small spell, like a telescope, brings distant targets closer.

A small messaging flying sword floated over, bringing new information. The Zhang family's team has already left the city gate. There are Zhang Shengde, Zhang Hao, Zhang Han, 20 carriages and more than 100 guards.

"As expected!" Gu Xuanjun's eyes flashed fiercely; then he glanced at the opposite hill; the opposite hill has also been ambushed.

Ever since Zhang Hao and the Zhang family rejected the Gu family's request last time, Gu Xuanjun, the young master of the Gu family, had other thoughts. After careful operation, they found some external forces—to put it bluntly, it was treason.

In addition, a considerable number of small and medium-sized families, commercial firms, etc. whose interests have been damaged have been united, and everyone is ready to remove the top management of the Zhang family in one fell swoop; it would be even better if they can get the current secret of the Zhang family's black iron smelting.

About two quarters later, the Zhang family's team appeared at the end of the road.

Only because of the influence of water vapor and dust suspended in the air, the distant image is a bit hazy.

Gu Xuanjun narrowed his eyes, "Here we come! Get ready!"

The flying sword was sent back and forth, and the two hills moved at the same time.

A total of more than 300 masters were ambushed on both sides, at least all of them were at the foundation establishment stage.

Standing in front of the lineup were two experts from abroad who were at the peak of Jindan.

Time slipped away little by little, and the Zhang family's team was getting closer; Gu Xuanjun's palms were already sweating.

This is the first time he has done such a thing, but the Gu family has no way out. Now that he has already contacted a foreign country, he can only persevere to the end. As long as he succeeds and obtains the Zhang family's new technology, he can go to settle abroad.

The experts from foreign countries have already promised: they will definitely help the Gu family become a large family!

The array plate buried underground is already in an activated state. It only takes one spell to activate.

Seeing that the Zhang family's team was about to enter the ambush circle, Gu Xuanjun slightly bent his fingers, ready to activate the formation at any time.

But at this moment, Zhang's team suddenly stopped; but seeing Zhang Shengde look at the hills on both sides, he sent people up to investigate.

Gu Xuanjun frowned, but made a decisive decision: "Do it!"

More than three hundred masters rushed down from the top of the mountain in an instant, and the flying swords shot out like lightning, bursting out with all their strength.

Two masters at the pinnacle of the golden core lined up.

However, the most unexpected change occurred.

A barrier rose, temporarily blocking Feijian's attack.

At the same time, the curtains of the twenty carriages of the Zhang family suddenly tore off, and what was revealed inside were hideous crossbow beds!

call out……

A sharp voice flew over, and a stream of light passed by Gu Xuanjun's ear.

Pooh...

There was a muffled sound, and the crossbow bolt as thick as an egg sank into the stone wall in an instant and disappeared; leaving only a hole the size of an arm in place.

Cold sweat immediately flowed from Gu Xuanjun's brow.

What a sharp arrow.

However, the next moment, his eyes widened. But seeing the most ferocious masters rushing forward, they were shot down to the ground like pheasants, and some unlucky ones were directly nailed to the ground, crawling on all fours.

These crossbow bolts are six feet long, like spears. Not to mention the foundation building stage, even the general Jindan stage can't stop it. The solid magic weapon-level armor was directly shot through.

The screams rang out in an instant.

At this time, the 'guards' of the Zhang family suddenly tore off their disguises, and masters from the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage and even the Golden Core Stage were revealed on the spot.

"No, the secret has been leaked!" Gu Xuanjun's heart instantly sank into the abyss.

More than 200 prepared masters, together with a total of 40 crossbow beds on the vehicle, easily smashed the ambush.

"Aw..." Gu Xuanjun let out a long cry, wanting the help of the Jindan peak from outside.

But at this time, these two top Jindan masters lowered their heads, looking at the sword tip protruding from their abdomen. This sword directly pierced through their dantians and pierced their golden cores!

A body of cultivation, turned into flowing water.

They turned their heads with difficulty, and saw a shadow drifting away.

This is the assassin from Yeyue Tower!
